Star Wars: 9 Ideas For The New Trilogy & TV Show

5. The Unknown Regions

The Force Awakens started exploring more of the Unknown Regions, the uncharted area of the galaxy in Star Wars, with Starkiller Base being created there. However, that's just one small part of a vast, unknown, and potentially dangerous part of the universe.

We don't know what other planets, species, and cultures lurk out there, which could make a TV show that explores it quite enticing. Yes, it might have a little bit of a Star Trek element to it, but taking that sort of space exploration and turning it over to the world of Star Wars is an alluring prospect. There'd be a huge amount of free reign in terms of what could be created in both worlds and creatures, from the rise of lowly heroes to potential extragalactic threats.

Similarly it could make for an interesting setting for Johnson's new film. Obviously that's not as specific an idea, and it wouldn't be the exploration type series, but it would make for an intriguing place to land the new characters he comes up with and explore these worlds through them.
